When I am called to duty~ God~
Whenever Flames may rage~
give me strength to save some life
whatever be its age.
before it is to late~
or save an old person
from the horror of that fate.
Enable me to be alert
and hear the weakest shout.
to quickly and efficiently
put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling
and to give the best in me~
to guard my every neighbor
and protect his property.
And if according to my fate ~~
I am to lose my life~
please bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife/husband.
